The People Who Work With Swift & Company Big Business is usually pictured in the public mind as a huge, soulless machine. As a matter of fact, it is just a collection of human beings like you. Withoift boasting and simply to give the public an idea of the human side of Swift & Company, we publish the following facts : , The lowest rate of wages paid to men has been increased voluntarily and by arbitration 1 67 per cent in the past three years; the wages of all packing-house labor have been increased an average of 125 .per cent. There is an Employes' Benefit Association (voluntary) providing disability and death benefits for a small weekly payment. Sick allowances are granted ' in times of illness, and pensions for disability and old age are provided without expense to the employe. Under a two year time payment plan 4,000 em ployes have become shareholders in Swift & Company. Company physicians attend employes needing their help at the plant and at home, without charge. More than 1,500 of the 7,500 men who left to join the armyNand navy have returned to their jobs, and jobs are waiting for the others as soon as they return. At the general office in Chicago, every boy is given an hour's schooling daily on company time, such work being accredited by the high school authorities in" securing a two year commercial course diploma. A summer home is maintained at Fisli Lake, Indiana, near Chicago, where women plant employes may spend their vacations, without cost. Swift & Company is co-operating with other employ ers to improve living conditions around t.he stock yards. More and more thought and attentfon are being given to the opportunity and responsibilities presented in a big industry to improve working conditions and i to raise living standards. These are beginnings of a broad, constructive pro gram, details of which are now being worked out by the Employes' Relations Committee of Swift & Company. Swift. & Company, U. S. A. F. M.
